all these things that i have done...

So I went with Center, MKD, and Asianpixie to Capital Pride this weekend, and it was awesome. Not only did I get to watch the rockin' parade (which, by the way, contained more rainbow gear, drag queens, and men in leather codpieces than I have ever seen in one place in my life), but I also got to see it with three sexay ladies! (I have pictures, but they're all pretty bad, and I'd like to keep my new friends, so I'm not going to post them... even though MKD already says she hates me, but that's okay, 'cause I totally hate her back.) I also ran into a few people I know from school, which was weird, 'cause Washington, DC is (a) a huge city and (b) relatively far away from where I went to school. Anyway, we were planning to hit up a club after the parade, but we were all kinda beat, so we gayed it up in Dupont Circle for a bit, had a few drinks at a bar, and then retired to Asianpixie and MKD's place for pizza, beer, and Buffy. They (mostly Center and MKD) cracked sex and fart jokes the whole day, which made me feel, despite my age, not at all like the youngest person in the group... and it also made me giggle, 'cause let's face it, sex and farting are hilarious... but not at the same time, 'cause that's just awkward and gross.

After much merriment had been made, I finally ended up crashing on Center's couch. (How many people get to say they spent the night on the Center of the Universe's couch?? I am soooo cool!)

I finished off the weekend with a THREE-HOUR drive home (it should have been about half that). Traffic was backed up on 340 from West Virginia all the way into Boonsboro, Maryland. I don't know what caused the jam, but I was stuck in it for about an hour-and-a-half, roasting in the sun, with NO cell phone reception (it wouldn't have helped me get anywhere, but at least I could've called someone to make them share my pain). It was a really pretty day, and I enjoyed the scenery for about the first fifteen minutes of sitting, then I was all "FUCK YOU, Purple Mountains Majesty! I just wanna go home!" Then I got really hungry, and they only thing I could find to eat in my car was a watermelon flavored Tootsie Pop, which was kinda fuzzy from my purse and tasted like ass, but I ate it anyway.

So I am home for the time being... though I will probably make the journey again next weekend, because MKD and Asianpixie have graciously offerred to Louie-sit for me(!), so I'm gonna bring him over for a trial period with their (super-cute, totally awesome) dog.

Yay Gay Pride! Yay new friends! Yay fart jokes! Yay potential cat-sitters! Yay finally making it home and not dying in a traffic jam in West By-Gawd Virginia!
